Hennsley Mattresses

[Product Review]

The mattress on our marital bed was bought more than a decade ago and my wife even joked that the mattress not bad leh coz we even have 5 kiddos lor, lol. And yes, I was also rather used to it after so many years already. However if you were to ask me what brand it was, I have totally no idea lor. Back then when our salary was not even enough to apply for any credit cards and we had lots of loan to pay for our humble 3-room flat, we merely bought whatever was priced reasonably for us, and surprisingly it lasted us till now. But we never knew what we were really missing.

We needed 2 x king-sized mattresses to cater to our growing family.

Fast forward to this year when we finally finished our renovations, we decided to upgrade our mattresses. We had been co-sleeping with all the 4 older kiddos on a queen-sized bed alongside another super single bed. That was how we bond. But with the frequency of waking up in the middle of the night with little fingers in my mouth or a kick in the groin, we thought that getting 2 bigger beds would be the best thing to do after the conversion of our 2 rooms into just 1! We started searching for our ideal 2 x king-sized beds.

Hennsley's range of products that would ensure a good night's sleep. The mattress protectors worked really well, when accidents happened in the middle of the night. 

I know that mattress prices can range from the low hundreds all the way to tens of thousand dollars, much like comparing watches like Swatch to a Patek Philippe. Both watches also tells the time leh, so why spend that much for the luxury watch? In the case of watches, maybe one can still argue that owner can show off coz it is worn on the wrist, but mattresses? I ain't gonna carry one around when I go out, so why pay so much? There must be some real reasons why people are willing to pay premium for something that will end up hidden under bed sheets no less.

Look at how thick the mattresses are! There is a reason for the 7-Zone Pocketed Innerspring System and for the pricing! Best to check out with the friendly staff who will advise appropriately! 

After months of sleeping on our new Hennsley mattresses, I finally understood the reason and the differences between the prices of the 'normal' mattresses and that of the premium luxury range. I used to have stiff back or aching shoulders in the mornings previously, especially when I have to sleep with all the kiddos surrounding me, and had to take great care not to move around too much. But all that miraculously disappeared after I started sleeping on our Hennsley mattresses. Initially I was still not fully convinced, and attributed the improvement to having a bigger sleeping space now that we have 2 king-sized beds.

Go try out the mattresses at the Sleep Sanctuary.

That was until I had the recent big fight with my wife (over other matters, not over the mattresses lah) and ended up sleeping in our guest room, on our old mattress because of my pride. I never had so much space to roll in bed ever since we had our first kiddo, and it also felt kind of relaxed without the kiddos for that few nights. But guess what? The backaches actually returned again, thus this time I knew for sure, that the new mattresses were definitely doing much good for my old body, besides being so comfortable as well! I am surely glad to be back, sleeping with the rest of the pack on our Hennsley mattresses!

There are different types of pillows available, such as latex or polyester fibre. 

So how do you choose a good mattress for yourself? Do not be like us, where our only consideration back then was the price. We did not even know how our first mattress felt when we bought until it was delivered to our house. But this time round, we went down to the showroom twice to test and try out the range the local company carried, before making our final choice after a long and educational consultation with Mr Marcus Goh from Hennsley Singapore. So if you have intentions of getting any new mattresses, do yourself a favour and head on down the showrooms in the most comfortable attire you dare to wear out of your house, and test out the different mattresses by getting onto them, like the kiddos and me!

No parents should ever place kiddos to sleep on a bed without any good protector, ever!

My wife preferred the softer versions while I thought I liked the slightly firmer ones but we ended up with their 'Desire' series after coming to a compromise and it was the best decision ever. To be absolutely honest, I never expected that purchasing the right mattress would make such a big difference! I grew up sleeping on straw mats laid on the floor and our old mattress was already an upgrade. But I guess as I got older, the body is not as 'good' as before and having the right support really made the difference between waking up refreshed or having those irritating body aches instead. These days, all of us sleep soundly, 2 adults + 4 kiddos + 1 baby, all co-sleeping on 2 king-sized beds.

Loving our Hennsley mattresses for sure!

Hennsley Singapore had only recently moved its showroom, Hennsley Sleep Sanctuary to the east side, just beside i12 Katong. Go check out their range of mattresses, bed frames, as well as the  other sleep necessities such as mattress protectors and different types of pillows as well! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to have the best sleep ever, and for showing us how getting the right mattress can work wonders!
